Is Your Vehicle Ready for Winter Driving?

As we experience winter weather, get your vehicle ready with a maintenance check-up. Don’t wait to have your battery, belts, hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, tires, exhaust system, heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system checked.

Make sure your vehicle is mechanically ready for the rigours of winter. Keep your fuel tank sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended.

Make sure you have sufficient windshield washer fluid in the reservoir that is rated a minimum of -40’C temperature range. Keep an extra jug in the vehicle.

Safety on our roadways is our top priority and it starts with you and your vehicle.
